I offer a natural and revitalizing alternative: an energy drink made with shilajit and fresh orange juice. It's the perfect drink to start your day right, to refuel after a workout, or simply for a natural pick-me-up whenever you need it.
Shilajit, this ancient resinous substance derived from Himalayan rocks, is a treasure trove of health benefits. Rich in fulvic acid and essential minerals, it helps improve energy, vitality, and cognitive function. Combined with the vitamin C and antioxidants of fresh orange juice, it offers a perfect synergy for sustained energy and enhanced protection against oxidative stress.
This recipe is simple, quick, and requires only a few quality ingredients. Get ready to discover a drink that will not only give you the energy you need, but will also make you feel good!
Ingredients
For 1 person:
- 1 fresh orange (to be squeezed)
- 100ml of filtered water
- A piece of Shilajit Purlema' (the size of a grain of rice, approximately 100mg)
- A few ice cubes (optional)
- An orange slice for decoration (optional)
Instructions
- Preparing the shilajit: Dissolve the shilajit in a small amount of warm water (approximately 20ml). Stir well until completely dissolved. This step is crucial for optimal absorption.
- Squeeze the orange: Squeeze the orange to obtain approximately 80ml of fresh juice.
- To assemble the drink: In a glass, pour the fresh orange juice, add the dissolved shilajit and top up with the rest of the filtered water.
- Mix: Mix all ingredients well to ensure even distribution of the shilajit.
- To serve: Add a few ice cubes if desired. Garnish with an orange slice on the rim of the glass. Enjoy immediately.
Chef's Tips
- Shilajit Quality: Use only high-quality, pure, and authentic shilajit, such as that offered by Purlema', to guarantee optimal results and avoid any risk of contamination. Learn more about shilajit.
- Variations: You can personalize this drink by adding other ingredients such as freshly grated ginger (for an extra stimulating effect), honey (for added sweetness) or a pinch of turmeric (for its anti-inflammatory properties).
- Freshness: It is best to consume this drink immediately after preparation to fully benefit from the vitamin C in orange juice and the properties of shilajit.
- Ideal time: This drink is ideal in the morning for a boost, before or after a sporting activity, or in the mid-afternoon to combat fatigue.
Conservation
This drink is best consumed immediately after preparation. If you need to store it, it can be kept in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours in an airtight container. However, the vitamin C content will decrease over time.
